Report: Former Chargers safety Tre Boston to visit Cardinals

Former Chargers safety Tre Boston is set to visit the Cardinals, according to ESPN’s Josina Anderson. He visited the Colts earlier this month but didn’t work out a deal.

Boston remains in limbo as to where he will play in 2018, but it is certain that he will not be returning to Los Angeles after the team selected Derwin James in the first round of the 2018 NFL draft. James will not only take his position, but he will wear his jersey number as well in No. 33.

Boston played a huge role for the Bolts in 2017 when he signed as a free agent. He took 1,039-of-1,047 snaps for L.A., which was the most snaps of anyone on the unit. Boston racked up a career-high in both tackles and interceptions with 56 tackles and five interceptions.

The former Tarheels DB was Pro Football Focus’ No. 1 free safety in coverage, allowing just one reception every 193.7 coverage snaps. He ranked No. 9 in the NFL with an 87.8 coverage grade.

Boston has a previous connection with Arizona’s coach Steve Wilks, as he played for him when he was the Panthers’ defensive backs coach and defensive coordinator.
